[이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] Kim In-hyuk (27), the left striker of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Bluefang’s male professional volleyball team, has died.
A Samsung Fire team official said on the 4th, “Kim In-hyuk was found dead at his home on the same day.” “The police are currently investigating the exact cause of death.”
After graduating from Jinju Dongmyeong Middle School, Dongmyeong High School, and Gyeongnam University of Science and Technology, Kim Inhyuk joined Korea Electric Power Corporation through the 2017 professional volleyball draft. After that, he was traded to Samsung Fire & Marine Bluefangs in 2020.
Kim In-hyuk, who had a promising future enough to be selected as the national team member during his college days, made a strong impression by scoring 344 points in 32 games in the 2019-20 season.
However, following that, he went downhill due to injuries and other injuries. This season, he played only two games at Samsung Fire & Marine due to injuries and other injuries. Since December of last year, he left the team and stayed at home to receive treatment for his injuries.
Meanwhile, Kim In-hyuk is known to have suffered from malicious comments on social media. In August of last year, he posted on his social media account, “I thought the answer was to ignore the misunderstandings I’ve heard for over ten years, but I’m also exhausted. Please stop the malicious comments that have been tormenting me for years. I can’t stand it. Now,” he wrote, expressing his feelings.
At the time, Kim In-hyuk said, “You don’t know anything regarding me, so it’s really hard to withstand the countless DMs (direct messages) and malicious comments during every game. Please stop it now.”
